WIDE-TRAX Axle
The Heartland North Trail TT has a slightly different looking axle, they call it the WIDE-TRAX Axle. A little more spread, and I think lighter duty looking. Any experience or insight on this set up? ...

No one will produce the same trailer with regular and wide space axles to compare. So you are left with marketing reasons and speculation as to why and what is "better".
I have to tow my TT with a WDH with my prior F-150 and now my 3/4 ton Suburban. Handling varies more with my Reese dual cam adjustment than anything else. A friend of mine pulled my TT with a 2012 Silverado dually, no WDH. I followed him and was rock solid at 70-75mph. So might other designs.
The only problem I have is tight turns on asphalt. There is more side flex/stress on the axles, wheels, tires with wider spacing. I notice because I live in a cul de sac and have to turn two times for every camping trip.
I would not let the wide spaced axles have a deterrence or preference on any given TT.
